I have been getting *hundreds* of these messages every night from expire. Can anyone tell me what they mean and how to get rid of them? The lone colon in the message indicates the global char array "filename" contains an empty string, making it difficult to track down the source of these errors. I did a "find" piped into "grep" looking for these strings and am reasonably certain they don't actually occur inside any news articles. Is this a date format anyone recognizes? This is news version B 2.11.19 10/30/89 on a Sun 4/280 under SunOS 4.0.3, if that matters.
